Would you trade Hayward+assets for John Wall??

I would. I think the Jazz have the ammunition to get it done too.

I remember back to my early Jazzfanz days, before Wall signed his extension, I used to suggest offering him the max.. My plan B was Jeff Teague to a 40-44 million dollar/4 year deal IIRC.. Looking back, those would've been seriously high-impact moves.. franchise changers.. So I figure I'll suggest it again.

He's signed for the next 3 seasons for about 51 mil and turns 26 in September.

Obviously Trey Burke can go. Probably Exum too.
If they keep Dante, maybe they throw in Neto and this years first round pick??or a future pick??

Washington can spin it like they didn't get Durant but they got a damn good consolation prize in Hayward.

The Wizards would be set on the wing if they could get Hayward to stay, next to Beal, Porter and Oubre, It'd actually set them up for another trade, and I think Washington will be looking for a big shakeup this offseason.. They could sorta do a Portland style retooling while getting younger.

Only after KD signs and makes Hayward redundant. Wall Burks Hood Durant is better than Exum Hood Hayward Durant.
 
Yeah, the FO would probably move Favors, pair Hayward with Wall and slide Lyles to the 4. This motivates Hayward to stay.

Jazz offer Favors, Burks + 1st rd

Then they focus on adding a shooter and tough vets off the bench.
 
I think of John Wall as a borderline All Star. I think his value was inflated by playing in the EC. He had a down year efficiency-wise and his attitude isn't great. I think Favors+pick+Exum or Burks would get Wall.
 
The blunder woonder DL keep make poor choice. Everyone know it we should trade hayward at DEADLINE! Now he is nothing more.

I think some of y'all are lacking context here.. you're turning a blockbuster trade into an unrealistic massive rip off in Utah's favor.. Isn't that obvious??

Instead of thinking in terms of 'better' or 'upgrades' think in terms of safety, Hayward is not remotely as safe of an asset as Wall because he can walk next season.. This move adds flexibility to the roster because forecasting the salary structure will be easier.

The question is, is the deal in the OP enough to get Wall? would they ask for multiple 1sts?? Hayward could walk..

Washington is trying to lure Durant as a win now team so doubt they would want Exum. Would likely want Hayward and Gobert to solidify their interior D and sell that to Kevin Durant. It is a steep price to pay, but if we're being realistic thats the price for John Wall - arguably the best two way PG in the league.
 
I'm thinking the wizards would be more intrigued by Favors. After so many years without much production from the pg spot Wall would be amazing to watch. Lyles and gobert could possibly be really good. Though the defense would not be as good. The other thing is that we have bird rights for practically all of our young guys.
